Govt. Whistleblower Heard Trump Say Something Troubling To A Foreign Leader | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

82 comments

    1. Alan Brookes Precisely, the entire Helsinki ordeal was Trump throwing America under the bus.

      He was positively salivating, all he wants is his name plastered on a tall building in Moscow.

    2. @Alan Brookes Don’t forget the Russians in the oval office fiasco. donald sharing classified information. They are probably still sweeping for the bugs the Russians left.

    3. Because MSNBC has been totally reliable so far with their reporting on Trump’s relationship with Russia. Does this new agency like watching their ratings plummet and their credibility in the gutter?

  1. We don’t need a whistle blower to tell us Trump is corrupt. There’s a reason why he filed 6 bankruptcies and is hiding his taxes.

    1. @Silence DoGood congressional oversight is very constitutional fyi….he is required to operate with 3 EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. His frivolous lawsuits are being dismissed 1 by 1. Id suggest looking up the nixon tapes…..nixon claimed executive privilege too…..the national interest of transparency and faith in the government over rule executive privilege. Its been decided 40 years ago

  2. We have no democracy or justice if he doesn’t go to prison *and* have his assets seized. Trump didn’t ‘make america great.’ He revealed that the myth of ‘America’ is a sham. // I can’t imagine what this was, but surely Trump will play around in the ‘gray area’ of his typically nebulous rhetoric, and claim it didn’t mean what it sounded like. Another “Tim/Apple” situation…. It feels too naive to even hope this was a Putin tit/tat deal, where Trump promised to do something for Papi Vlad, in exchange for 2020 Election nonsense. I can’t imagine Trump would ever be so stupid as to discuss something like that on the phone. That’s what golf courses, Jareds, and Manaforts are for.

    1. Maybe he will weaponize government against his political opponents, just like Obama tried to do. Only difference is that Trump will not fail, like Obama did !!

    2. You Americans turned almost every industry in the world into a marketing competition then are terribly triggered when the marketing master Trumpy boi used this to become President, you then REEEE in outrage. Its so funny how you idiots did this to yourselves.

  3. The US President is a reality TV personality. It is expected he was videoed with prostitutes in Russia.

    What is the suprise here?

    1. @CableKnitter No. It’s money. It’s always about money with the Dumpster. He already owes Putin and most likely the Saudis both of whom have bailed him out in the past like his daddy did. He’s also trying to make deals that fill his own coffers. He said as much this week when he talked about the billions that the Saudis bring INTO America. Hello, red flag. He didn’t mean that the money would benefit America although one could interpret it that way which would be a mistake. He meant himself. He always MEANS himself! The Saudis have already spent a lot of money buying condos in Trump Tower and staying at his hotels. And that is under investigation. Trump is using his position to benefit his businesses and getting away with it. Why would he stop when there are no consequences? I really have a difficult time understanding how the Cult members are ok with this. Don’t they even see the dangers to national security? Or is that too sophisticated a concept for them? Connect the dots people.

    2. @Bucky Pinata Trump doesn’t lie, Trump doesn’t know Barron is his son. He doesn’t legally have to show his taxes. I can do it too

    1. At least you guys have a dream which is like the Russia thing you got nothing but at least you got something to talk about it’s never going to happen

  4. Trump said he trust putin over our intelligence community in Helsinki. Cant be a bigger traitor than that. Hang Trump already.#UnitedStatesOfTheSovietUnion

    1. Prior generations would call folks ‘Benedict Arnold’ in regards to betrayal and treason. Future generations will call folks ‘Donald Trump’ for the same.

    2. @James Ricker – I think that theory needs to grow some legs. Who knows how many phone calls President National Security Threat made to Putin or Kim when he thought Bolton wasn’t listening?

  5. As long as he gets paid from the highest bidder, Trump dont care what dirt he brings into the Oval Office, Camp David or into the U.S.A

    1. @M!STER D thats why all of hillaries closest allies are in prison or heading there right? The clinton foundation facing rico charges…..oh wait thats dump

    2. Yes he need that money to feed the family. Could imagine him risking his Reelection for some $$ when already a billionaire, not like he cares far more about his image and brand name or anything.

  6. Once again, Trump is not just a threat to U.S. but the entire world …. they need to remove this insane person off the presidency before is too late!!!!

    1. @fotha Dan Pence is the puppet master. He would be even worse by multiple magnitudes. if Pence was in the chair he would start WW3 right off the bat. And he would call it a religious war giving his faithful troops carte blanche to do whatever it took to crush those they disagree with. The GOP really have cocked things up this time. 2020 can’t come fast enough.

    2. I’m not even American so no horse in this race but you guys have been saying this since 2016 and nothing major has really gone wrong. Probably less war crimes by the states under Trump than most of your previous leaders like Bush and his Iraq war and Dronebama with all those strikes . . .

  7. The 2020 election may be 14 months away but that’s dog years in the Trump presidency. Just enough time for him to do something catastrophic and irrevocable.

    1. bronzecap thank you. Yes we need to vote him out of the office but he needs to be taken out NOW before he does something worse. He damages us every day.

    2. Maybe he will weaponize government against his political opponents, just like Obama tried to do. Only difference is that Trump will not fail, like Obama did !!

  8. When a President commits treason—-but you can’t indict a sitting President. Override this ridiculous policy.

    1. @Da Choppah I’m not sure you know how to read. Over 140 mil came from guistra over a year before she was even SoS. As to your answer, trump has already taken way more than that just from double dipping for his vacation trips. Regardless, I’m not the one that has said anything about trump until now. I’ve only countered your claim about uranium one. Either way, if everything you said was true, then it would be known to trump and barr could easily lock her up. Unless it’s not illegal. So know I pose a question: why isnt she locked up? Which is more likely: they are/were friends ( we know they were), or it’s fake news?

      And since you keep bringing up trump and money. You do know hes selling billions in military gear to Saudi Arabia right? You know the country that most of the 911 hijackers and bin laden were from.

  9. WTF Trump. This is our country not yours! You have no right to promise anything to a foreign leader without congress and the America people.

    1. @Mark G. oh I understand that but it’s still against the law. It’s just that the Congress is not doing their job like Mitch McConnell to name a few.

    2. Donald Trump has Article 2. He doesn’t talk about it much and most people don’t know about Article 2, but Article 2 says that he can do anything he wants. MAGA = Morons Are Governing America!!!

  10. Wasn’t there also a mention, in that whistleblower’s report, of a “promise” between Trump and a foreign leader? ,

    1. @Jeffrey Meade Schiff isn’t the whistleblower… its a member of the DNI. IF this isn’t enough to worry you beyond partisan politics, you should prob ask yourself what is.
